We have a large variety of fonts to choose from, including many fun and unusual ones. However, we may not have the same fonts that you have on your computer. If you're using an unusual font that you downloaded or obtained from a disc, please bring that with you when you bring your file. That way, if we don't have it, we can install it so your document will look like you want it to look.

When creating a document to print, understanding how it will print is important. Knowing how the bleed works, where the trim is, and what your margins of safety are become vital to setting up your document. Below is a chart which explains what each of these terms means.

What is a Bleed?	What is the Trim?	What is the Margin?
A bleed refers to the area outside the edge of your document. If you've ever seen a business card or a flyer where the printing goes off the page, this is referred to as a bleed. If you want your print or background to extend of the edge of the document, it's important to provide enough of a bleed so that the document can be cut correct. Without a bleed, there could be a miniscule white portion along the edge of the document due to a minute shift in the printing process.	The trim refers to the actual cut edge of the document. This is the exact size you want the document to be.	The margin refers to the inside edge of the document where it's safe to include important information. Keeping your vital print inside the margin ensures that it won't be cut off and it will be even with the card itself.
